Interesting fact

The 1 Sol coin was introduced during the French Revolution as a replacement for the old livre tournois currency. The coin was designed by Augustin Dupré, a French engraver and artist, and it features a portrait of a woman representing the French Republic on one side, and a wreath of laurel leaves and a Liberty cap on the other. The coin was made of bronze and had a weight of 12.23 grams. Despite its relatively small denomination, the 1 Sol coin was an important symbol of the new French Republic and its values of liberty, equality, and fraternity.
